About 2,790 miles separate your LA front door from a walk-up in Brooklyn or a high-rise in Manhattan. Royal Moving Services Inc. runs this corridor as a licensed motor carrier: the same crew loads in Los Angeles and unloads in New York, with a transparent written quote and one coordinator for the whole trip.

Our drivers usually take I-15 north out of the Los Angeles basin, pick up I-70 across the Rockies and the Midwest, then drop onto I-76 and I-78 into the New York metro. It is a long haul through high desert, mountain passes, and winter weather east of Denver, so the schedule is built around real road conditions, not a best-case map estimate.
A dedicated express truck covers the distance in about four to six days. A shared, consolidated load costs less and delivers inside a wider window, generally up to three weeks from your first available delivery date. Your coordinator confirms which option fits your dates and budget before anything is booked. Compare options on our long-distance moving page.

The crew wraps and pads your belongings, loads the truck, and logs an inventory so every item is accounted for before it leaves the curb.
Your coordinator tracks the truck across the I-70 corridor and gives you a delivery window for New York, with updates if weather slows the route.
We unload, place furniture, reassemble what we took apart, and check the inventory against what arrived before the crew leaves.
On a 2,790-mile move the choice is mostly about timing versus cost. Here is the honest difference so you can decide which one fits.
Your shipment shares truck space with other moves heading the same direction. It is the more affordable choice and a good fit when your New York move-in date is flexible.
Delivery lands inside a window, generally up to three weeks from your first available date. You get a narrowed date range as the truck nears the East Coast.
A truck and driver assigned only to your move. Your belongings are not combined with anyone else's, so loading and delivery run on a tighter, more predictable schedule.
LA to New York runs about four to six days door to door. It costs more, and it is worth it when you need your things by a set date.
A lot of cross-country "movers" are brokers. They take your deposit, then sell the job to whichever carrier bids lowest, and you find out who is handling your belongings when a truck you have never heard of pulls up. Long-distance moves out of Los Angeles are run by Royal Moving Services Inc., a licensed carrier with its own trucks, its own crews, and its own federal authority.
That means one accountable party from your LA pickup to your New York delivery. Every interstate move carries the federally required liability coverage, with full-value protection available, and the terms are written into your quote before you sign.
The biggest shift is the building, not the city. After years of garage-to-garage moves in LA, a New York delivery means narrow brownstone stairs in Park Slope, fourth-floor walk-ups in the East Village, or a freight elevator you have to book ahead in a Midtown high-rise. Most Manhattan co-ops and condo boards also require a certificate of insurance on file before the crew is allowed in the door.
Parking is the other one. There is rarely a driveway or a loading zone, so we plan the truck position, any shuttle, and the building's move-in hours in advance. Tell your coordinator the neighborhood and the building type, and we sort the access details before the truck rolls out of Los Angeles.
We load LA to New York moves across Downtown, the Valley, the Westside, and all of Los Angeles County.
Tell us your LA address, your New York neighborhood, and your dates. We will put together a transparent quote and the delivery option that fits. Call (424) 500-2221 or request a quote online.
